The guy is money in center field, faster than a fox, and is really starting to come into his own in hitting. He’s still young and has a lot of potential.
This would be a mistake…and as others have mentioned, Fielder would require a lot more talent than that.

This looks like one of the trades made up in the comments of MLBTradeRumors.com. Next you should do an Adrian Gonzalez trade to the Red Sox!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Two guys who’s career WAR is the same as Fielder’s this year (6.7), yeah that’s an even trade. What’s next, Adrian Gonzalez for Nick Green and Manny Delcarmen?

Ellsbury is a bad leadoff guy, only a .355 on base % and hits for zero power and very little in the way of extra bases. There is lots of CF’s out there with those skills. And what has Bowden done other than get lit up to the tune of a 9.56 ERA? Prince is a top notch first baseman and thats all you want baston to give up in return? Who wrote this a redsuk fan? The brewers should be shot if they made this move

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:47:03 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=1767#comment-7049Hmm, don’t think I can see this happening. Fielder is a guy that has really exploded at the plate for the Brewers and taking his league leading 141 RBI’s & .299 average out of the lineup would be devastating for a lineup who relies on his bat on a daily basis. If a Fielder would ever happen, it’d have to be for a #1 starter like Halladay.

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:37:46 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=1767#comment-7048That might be the most insane trade idea ever? Do you understand baseball at all? Hey NBC sports if you are hiring anyone, can I call dibs on your next baseball writer?

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:28:42 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=1767#comment-7047I don’t think that Ellsbury fits into the model that is Milwaukee. They are not a running team and so most likely Ellsbury’s talent would go to waste. Ken Macha belives in the almighty Homerun rather than small ball.
